Fashion buzz for Sept. 12, 2011

MARK RONSON, GROUNDED

At her after-party at LES restaurant Co-Op, designer Charlotte Ronson, stepping away from guests such as Emma Roberts and Whitney Port, recalled the morning of the Sept. 11 attacks. She was concerned that her brother, Grammy winner Mark Ronson, was on a flight from NYC to Los Angeles. “He was on the plane at 7 a.m. or whatever, and there was some incident on the plane so it didn’t take off on time,” Ronson tells Buzz. “We got nervous not knowing where he was. But he was OK, obviously.”

MUNN’S THE WORD

Delectable “Daily Show” correspondent Olivia Munn, whose Aaron Sorkin-penned drama about a cable news network has just been picked up by HBO, wasn’t always comfortable with her curves. “I hated becoming a woman for a long time, so I didn’t wear a bra for a really long time,” she says on the red carpet of QVC’s runway show. “I would wear these long T-shirts, because I just wanted to look like a kid. Around fifth or sixth grade, my mom dragged me into Bloomingdale’s and said, ‘You’re putting on a bra and throwing away all your oversized T-shirts.’ ” Good call on losing the baggy shirts, Ma Munn.

RAGS TO RICCI’S

Christina Ricci is embracing the fashions of the ’60s in her new role as a stewardess in ABC’s “Pan Am.” (Yes, they were still called stewardesses back then.) “I’ve always been a vintage shopper, so it’s good to do that for a living now,” Ricci tells Buzz at Alexander Wang’s after-party at Pier 40.

As for dressing herself in the ’90s, Ricci didn’t do so well. “I made a lot of mistakes in my early teens,” says Ricci. “I wore really bad flame pants once. When I see pictures of them, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, the flame pants!’ ” Ricci then trounced Wang in a game of PlayStation “Everybody Dance.”

SOLID ADVICE

The line of the weekend belonged to Ed Westwick. When a nervous female fan approached the “Gossip Girl” star at the Gramercy Park Hotel’s Tommy party asking for a photo, he agreed — if she met his one demand: “Don’t s – – t your pants.”

CHRISTIAN RETREAT

The Vault at Pffaf’s, NoHo’s sexy new cocktail club, unofficially debuted Saturday with Christian Siriano’s after-party. The diminutive “Project Runway” prodigy, who designed the club’s uniforms all the way down to the shoes (which sell at Payless for $20 to $70), calls the red-sole patent controversy between fellow cobblers Christian Louboutin and Yves St. Laurent “very crazy,” asking, “It’s a color. What can you do?” Siriano’s happy NFL Sundays started yesterday, reasoning, “I like football wives because they shop.”
